Lance Stephenson Slaps LeBron In The Dick And Balls
Cleveland must have experienced some bizarre time warp tonight, because it’s the year 2017, and the Pacers’ Lance Stephenson is still making life extremely unpleasant for LeBron James. This time, the meme-able bench player came at LeBron as he drove down the lane, waving his right arm in wild desper...
Sixers Choose Not To Pick Up Last Year Of Jahlil Okafor's Contract
The Sixers have chosen not to pick up the $6.3 million option for the last year of Jahlil Okafor’s rookie contract. Drafted third overall in 2015, Okafor was an interesting offensive prospect but an immediate defensive liability, and often seemed sad and adrift on a Sixers roster clogged with young ...
The Dolphins Were Fed Up With Jay Ajayi And The Eagles Are Going For It
In October 2016, the Dolphins abandoned their running-back-by-committee approach and handed the featured role to Jay Ajayi, who transformed into one of the league’s best backs, kick-started the offense, and helped Miami make the playoffs for the first time in eight years. This morning, Miami shipped...
Athletes Should Play In Costume On Halloween
The Cleveland Cavaliers threw their Halloween party Monday, and LeBron James dressed up as Pennywise the Dancing Clown. He looked pretty scary in the light:...
The Cavaliers Stink!
Append all the ordinary caveats, of course: It’s October; they’re without Isaiah Thomas; they’re integrating what seems like a small army of new players; the East is so godawful shitty there’s basically no floor to playoff contention; and so on. Fine. But still. The Cleveland Cavaliers are not just ...
Travis Benjamin's Terrible Decisions Led To One Of The Worst Punt Returns Ever<em></em><em></em>
Los Angeles’s Travis Benjamin could have had only a minor miscue on his record if he had stayed where he was on the field after he picked up his own muffed punt, but nah, he had to try and create something better. In doing so, he inexplicably ran backwards almost 10 yards into his own end zone, gett...
Donovan Mitchell Is A Good Reason To Watch Utah Jazz Games
The Jazz hosted (and smoked) the Lakers last night, and you will be forgiven if this matchup didn’t strike you right away as a meeting of two of the most exciting rookie guards in the NBA. After all, the Jazz are good, and the Lakers are very much not good, and Donovan Mitchell, Utah’s prized rookie...
Jack Sock Goes Between The Legs Yet Again

Will 60-Year-Old LeBron Still Be Able To Dunk?

Jake Allen Is Rudely Reminded That Ice Is Slippery
Blues goalie Jake Allen was doing just fine through the first half of last night’s game against Calgary, holding down the fort while his team took a 3-1 lead. But just when you think you’re safe, that’s when some devious frozen water will turn you into a fool. While trying to play the puck behind hi...
Three Sick LeBron James Passes
The Cavs are and will remain a bit of a mess at the point guard position until Isaiah Thomas manages to return from his hip injury. One luxury they enjoy, however, is the ability to plug the best player in the world into any lineup hole and perform at an all-world level....
NBA Fines Josh Jackson $35K For Making "Menacing" Gun Gesture At Fan
Phoenix Suns rookie Josh Jackson fouled out of Saturday’s blowout loss to the Clippers with six minutes left, and as he headed to the bench, he appeared to mime shooting a gun at a Clippers fan, before sitting down and mouthing “Fuck you.”...
Browns QB Roulette Continues Apace After DeShone Kizer Apologizes For Going To Bar
The Cleveland Browns, who are once again a plague upon this green Earth, have spent the season flipping back and forth between a trio of QBs of varying mediocrity. DeShone Kizer, Kevin Hogan, and Cody Kessler have teamed up to throw seven touchdowns and 17 picks for a team that only figures to have ...
Artemi Panarin's Dog Is The World's Cutest Forechecker
Practicing stickhandling can be a dull, repetitive exercise for any hockey player. But Columbus Blue Jackets winger Artemi Panarin, who’s already extremely good with the puck, has found a way to make it the highlight of anyone’s day....
Mitch Trubisky Completed Four Passes And The Bears Won<em></em>
A vintage defensive performance from the Chicago Bears and a complete lack of trust in their rookie quarterback were enough to soundly beat the Carolina Panthers today, 17-3. Chicago achieved a win with a pair of Eddie Jackson defensive touchdowns, while QB Mitchell Trubisky threw only seven passes,...
The Pelicans Are Shuffling The Saddest Deck In The Universe
You would not think a person could muster up much of a feeling about Jordan Crawford being cut by an NBA basketball team in 2017, and yet, here we are. ...
